Air / Oil Separators

Separators are constructed to handle the specific CFM of the compressor and are rated thus. In many cases, the unit is designed to handle at least 10% over the normal CFM capacity of the compressor, while some are at marginal or below CFM capacity. It is best to check with your supplier if you are having to change the separator prematurely.

The basic purpose of this product is to separate the oil from the air through coalescing action. The oil is physically trapped by the separator while allowing air to pass through. The oil is then drained down to the sump, removed by the pickup tube and return lines, and returned to the sump to be recompressed in a continuous cycle.

Air/Oil Separators for rotary screw and vane type air compressors provide the ultimate filtration, with a micron rating of 0.3. All particles passing through the air and lube oil filters, which are larger than 0.3 microns, will be trapped by the separator. Separators are constructed of a depth loading media, and have good dirt holding capabilities.
